The Container
About this retreat
The Somatic Mastery Intensive is a focused container — five days, six practitioners, two extended 1:1 sessions, and the somatic groundwork that the longer retreat builds on.
It is built for those who want the body-led work without the broader ceremonial arc. The intensity is the same; the surface area is smaller. By design.

Questions
Frequently asked.
How is this different from the seven-day retreat?
The Intensive is shorter, smaller, and focused tightly on somatic work. There is no water temple ceremony, and the group practice is more concentrated.
Can I extend my stay before or after?
Yes. We can recommend nearby accommodation and arrange transfers, though personal stays are not part of the retreat fee.
